    Description

    This is one of the cleanest 1960s Gene Krupa Sound King snares you will find. It has the desirable original chrome over brass hoops, as well. It is a heavy and powerful drum. It does well at high and low tunings and has incredible sensitivity. Honestly I would use it for any genre of music, especially in medium and louder volume settings. I would keep it but I have too many drums.
    This drum has a few very light scratches around the shell and a light dent at the butt plate that could be hammered out if you want--but it's not noticeable. I completely disassembled this snare, polished the shell and hardware, and lubricated the strainer, tension rods, and muffler. I outfitted it with new Remo Ambassador heads and Puresound 20-strand snares in the 15" size to get the half overhang these drums are designed for.
    I will ship anywhere in the world at your expense. Open to trades and offers.
